abstract
  • The United States presidential election of 2012 was held on Tuesday, November 6, 2012. It was the 57th consecutive quadrennial United States presidential election. The election took place as the Second Depression entered its second year, and was during the second year of the Chinese Civil War, as well. Incumbent President Barack Obama's Republican opponent was former Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, a moderate conservative. Although some political pundits predicted a close race, Huckabee would win by a 16% margin in the popular vote. Domestic policy and the economy were the main themes in the first few months of the election campaign, and defense of course was an issue, due of course to the threats from Communist China and North Korea. President Barack Obama, Democrat from Illinois, was defeated by Republican Mike Huckabee, former Governor of Arkansas. Fifteen states changed allegiance from the 2008 election. Each had voted for the President Obama in 2008 and contributed to Huckabee's landslide Electoral College victory. The selected electors from each of the 51 states and the District of Columbia voted for President and Vice President of the United States on December 15, 2012. Those votes were tallied before a joint session of Congress on January 8, 2013. Huckabee received 287 votes, and Obama received 251. One of the most notable aspects of the 2012 election was the election of a woman, Meg Whitman, to the vice-Presidency. While the current Vice-President, Hillary Clinton, was a woman, she was appointed by President Obama after the resignation and subsequent death of Joe Biden.
